Low Power Indoor Robotic Vacuum Cleaner Using Sensors and SLAM

Abstract

This paper presents a low-cost indoor robotic vacuum cleaner which makes use of infrared, ultrasonic sensors along with path planning to simultaneously map and navigate to a specific room and obstacles lying around. The algorithm uses a linear mapping technique which maps the border of the room first rather than conventional radial mapping rotating LIDAR scanners which map unnecessary details. The robot tends to use much less power and computational resources thereby reducing the time consumed for operation.
